Those details have to be omitted from manuscripts in order to avoid having to cite the works of Jürgen Schmidhuber.

Jürgen did it all before in the 80s, however it was never translated to English so Geoffrey could happily reinvent it.

Jürgen invented AGI in the early 90s but someone pressed the red button on his website and it committed suicide.

It is a bit of a meme in AI research, as Schmidhuber often claims that he hasn't received the citations that he thinks he deserves.
